Old Dogs Children And Watermelon Wine Lyrics

Artist: Henson Cargill
Album: This Is Henson Cargill Country

How old do you think I am he asked and I said well I didn't knowHe said I turned sixty five about eleven months agoI was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey downWhen this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge

There wasn't anyone around cept this old man and meThe guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TVUninvited he sat down and he opened up his mindOn old dogs and children and watermelon wine

Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he askedHe told me all about it though I didn't answer backAin't but three things in this ol' world worth a solitary dimeBut old dogs and children and watermelon wine

He said women think about theyselves when the menfolk ain't aroundAnd friends are hard to find when they discover that you're downHe said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural primeNow it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine

Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakesAnd God bless little children while they're still too young to hateWhen he moved away I found my pen and I copied down that lineBout old dogs and children and watermelon wine

I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta the next dayAs I was leavin' for my room I saw him pickin' up my changeThat night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertimeOf old dogs and children and watermelon wine
